|April 25, 2025
MORE than 2,000 patients requiring life-changing hand surgery have now benefited from shorter waiting times at a dedicated day-case site in North Staffordshire.
-
North Midlands Hand Centre provides treatment and cuts the waiting list for hand surgery at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM).
Up to eight operations take place each day at the purpose-built centre at County Hospital, Stafford, on conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger finger release, basal thumb arthritis, Dupuytren’s, and lumps and bumps of the hand and wrist.
The centre also treats hand and wrist traumas, with more than 700 of the 2,000 patients receiving surgery for fractures, tendons and infections over the past two years.
